Cell Phone Addiction Help For Teens From DC

Camp Pocono Trails Provides Help for DC Teens With Real Solutions

At our Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults, therapists, psychiatrists, counselors, teachers, nursing and activity staff all work together as a multidisciplinary team to help your child.  By participating in a positive peer culture, campers learn how to socialize appropriately and interact in the real world without the use of screens. Over time we will reintroduce your student to screens in a slow, systematic manner. residential programs for young adults 

Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults are only effective if the parents are role modeling the behaviors they want to see with their child.  Children will be more inclined to read if they see a parent reading. They will be more inclined to exercise if they see a parent exercising. Find a hobby or activity your child might be interested in doing where you can spend time together in lieu of video game playing or browsing the internet.  Researchers also recommend replacing fast-paced recreational games with educational games.

Our Video Game Addiction Help Program help teens from DC with the following issues:

  • Video Game Addiction
  • ADHD
  • Social issues
  • Disorganization
  • Family Discord

At our Residential Program for Troubled Young Adults, we don™t accept teens with psychosis or higher level issues.  In fact, many of our campers are quite bright with promising futures. Any student enrolled at Camp Pocono Trails must have an intellectual capacity in the average range or higher.  This is because our help is oriented toward building insight.

Participants engage in group and individual therapy to self-reflect and build insight.  But the help doesn’t stop there. We help young people find practical coping skills to align their daily routine with their long-term goals.  It™s not enough to acknowledge you have a problem- although that is a good starting place. Campers at our video game rehab program also leave with the skills and tools to be successful well beyond the structure of Camp Pocono Trails.

Residential Programs for Troubled Young Adults Can Treat Depression Due to Screen Addiction

Research has consistently shown that all screen activities are linked to less happiness, and all non-screen activities are linked to more happiness. Now more than ever, residential programs for young adults are treating depression due to video game or screen addictions.  Eighth-graders who spend 10 or more hours a week on social media are 56 percent more likely to say they™re unhappy than those who devote less time to social media. Campers who spend six to nine hours a week on social media are still 47 percent more likely to say they are unhappy than those who use social media even less. summer camps

Many gamers that come to our residential program for young adults use a Steam account to manage their game settings.  Here is a comprehensive guide for parents to manage your child’s Steam account.

We encourage you to create a Steam account with your child. If there are features of Steam that you would like to exclude from the experience, you can restrict access using Family View. You may also choose to enable Family View on your own Steam account if you would rather they share your Steam Account.
